Ehh... Why I didn't think of those things but here we are. They are going to stay for a little while. Also, there's a slight shift in how I want use my wiki now. Instead of trying to craft every note into a set of evergreen notes. While Andy Matuschak's notes are very practical, it also focuses too much on crafting evergreen notes (a bit too much). Or maybe that was just my impression? Either way, I'll let some of my thoughts to drift if it able to link somewhere in the notes. I think I'm getting the point of Luhmann's original use of Zettelkasten as a research partner.

Refer to advanced resources when skill-building for a solid short-term goal
When starting out to build a skill like programming, 3D modelling, digital art, or cooking, you can look first for expert-created resources. For example, when starting out to 3D model, you can look for speedsculpting videos or a competition that involves many talented people in the industry. In programming, you could look for devlogs, highly advanced competitions, fairly popular software projects, or a live coding session. You can then store the expert resources and Maintain your own digital library for future references.
The purpose of this is twofold: to serve as a solid short-term goal (as indicated by the title) and to create inspirations for your future projects. If you Look for live sessions as another form of examples, the inspirations are especially great as you watch the actual process unfold.
Of course, this does not entirely replace looking out for beginner-friendly resources and communities as an entryway. In fact, it is a bad idea to start learning with the advanced resources.
Also, this could lead into actively consuming just the resources without the practice. Create roadmaps to stay on track.
